There is a similar high prevalence of peripheral neuropathy (34%) in the pediatric population infected with HIV (Araujo et al. 2000). The frequency of IDP in the HIV-infected population is unknown but is thought to be rare (Wulff et al. 2000). In an outpatient population of HIV positive patients, mononeuritis multiplex and lumbosacral polyradiculopathy were found in less than 1% of patients with AIDS (Fuller et al. 1993). HIV-associated autonomic nervous system dysfunction is also not uncommon as up to 66% of patients have papillary involvement and 15% have sympathetic and parasympathetic involvement causing orthostatic hypotension and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (Gluck et al. 2000).

Nervous system A number of different demyelinating neuropathies have been associated with the use of infliximab. A 64-year-old man treated with infliximab for psoriasis vulgaris 1 month later developed subacute sensory polyradiculopathy that appeared to be immxme mediated judging by the detection of anti-ganglioside antibodies [147 ].
